Gyan Asamoah earns recall but Ayew brothers remain exiled

Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan has been handed a recall to the senior national team for the upcoming 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Sierra Leone despite playing only 35 minutes of competitive football this season.
Gyan, Ghana’s record scorer with an impressive 51 goals in 106 appearances returns to the Black Stars fold after being left out of last Month’s disappointing 1-0 loss at Kenya in an African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

Gyan, 32, has been restricted to the role of substitute this season for his Turkish Super Lig club side Kayserispor after being dogged by injuries following his switch to Turkey in July last year.

Ghana faces Sierra Leone in a doubleheader – hosting them first on October 11 before travelling away for the return-leg on October 15.

Also returning to the 23-man squad is Deportivo Alaves midfielder Mubarak Wakaso while Andre and Jordan Ayew have been left out again by Coach Kwasi Appiah.
